Jasmine Myra - New Beginnings
An exciting young Saxophonist, Bandleader and writer from the North of England releases her debut on Matthew Halsallâs Gondwana Records. The two taster tracks released at the moment a very similar so Iâm holding of buying the quite pricey Limited Edition coloured vinyl at ÂŁ27.99 inc postage hopefully a cheaper black vinyl becomes available until then Iâll stream it.

Thanks for the heads up FR. I enjoyed their previous album. A Snarky Puppy vibe to them.

With the help of @Bobthebuilder who suggested it on another thread, here is an interesting album. On pre order. Another one from 2015 is available.
âResynthesisâ was created with the help of a handful of close friends, regular collaborators and some of the tightest young players around, many of whom met at an improvised music night hosted by Hugo Piper (who also plays on Resynthesis) called Champion Sounds. It was at one of these nights that the basis for âChampionâ was formed, plucked from a twenty second snippet recorded on a phone of one of the legendary jams, which has in turn been reimagined on âResynthesisâ by some of the musicians that were present on the night itself. In addition to the trio instrumentation, Quinn Oulton and Nathaniel Facey lend their skills on saxophone. The album is tied together by artwork from painter and musician Kaya Thomas-Dyke, which includes reference to a number of the memories the album is inspired by.
The recordâs first single âShinkansenâ is an elaborate sonic journey featuring legendary UK saxophonist Nathaniel Facey, known for his work both as a leader and member of the multi award-winning quartet Empirical. Leeming recounts âShinkansenâ's dreamy sounds were âwritten recalling the scenery during a journey to Tokyo on the Bullet Train whilst on tourâ. With sinuous sax voicings and enchanting guitar themes, âShinkansenâ is a magnetic taster to âResynthesisâ.
âLong Term Memoryâ hosts Laura Grovesâ mesmerising vocals, reflecting on the idea of âhomeâ and, in her own words, âthe deep ties that can exist with certain places and the memories attached to themâ. Intertwined with an intricate drum pattern, the ethereal guitar motif lays a smooth foundation for the soaring melody, producing an enticing piece destined to remain in the listenerâs long term memory. âStill Connectedâ showcases Leemingâs intrepid musical character with otherworldly textures. With an absence of percussion, the instrumentation is given space for remarkable rhythmic patterns to awaken the listenerâs senses.
